ACT IV
[Kaite POV]
I can't help but think, if this girl is the Prime Shifter, is she the one to save all of time as prophesied? I think about this over and over while I hit the heavy bag.
"Getting your sweat on?" Olivia asks me, walking up to me.
"When your life is on the line, you always prepare." I reply to her.
"Do you know who this Time Shaman is?" Asks Olivia.
"Well, he is one of many, strewn throughout the world." I say to her.
"For years, these Shamans existed to point a Shifter in the right direction." I say.
"So they are like fortune tellers?" Asks Olivia.
"Yeah, they find out what your purpose and destiny is." I explain.
"What should I prepare for?" Asks Olivia.
"Anything... That's what you should prepare for." I say to her.
[Flashback Lexington POV]
I sit in my room, watching a very old Soap Opera, and then I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I say.
"Hello my friend." Says Kyle, as he opens the door.
"Ah Kyle, I was expecting you. Take a seat." I say to him.
He then pulls up a chair, and he sits with me at the round table.
"So my friend, what brings you here?" I ask.
"Well, I am here to tell you, that I believe I have found the Prime Shifter." Says Kyle.
"If that's is true, then you must send her to me, she maybe our only chance at protecting this timeline." I reply.
"I will have her ready by morning." Says Ronald.
"Remember, I am just here to guide her, not show her the future." I say to him.
"I know, she must find out her true purpose, herself." Says Kyle.
"You know, once she goes through the door, everything will change." I say to Kyle.
"Yes, everything will..." Says Kyle.
[End Of Flashback]
[Katie POV]
Kyle then approaches us, and he tells us to get ready, to take Olivia to the Time Shaman. We then Teleport to an Apartment building, right near Downtown L.A.
"You guys stay out here, we will be out shortly." Says Kyle.
"Ready Olivia?" He asks her.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Replies Olivia.
They then enter the apartment complex, while we wait outside, guarding the building.
[Olivia POV]
We walk inside the complex, and we take an elevator up to the third floor. Once we get up there, we see many people with the abilities of Shifters, in different rooms.
"Wait here..." Says Kyle.
I then see a small kid, practicing his Shifter powers, by levitating a golf ball. I go over to the kid, and I have a conversation with him.
"You must understand, power does not come from the physical plane, instead, power comes from the spirit, the soul." Says the child.
"The soul?" I ask him.
"Yin and Yang resides in us all, it all depends on your soul. If your soul is broken, you will be without strength, but if your soul is pure, you will be more powerful than your enimies." Says the child.
I then try to levitate what resembles a coloring book, but Kyle interrupts me and he says that the Time Shaman is ready for me. I then walk into the apartment room, and I see an old man, cooking some breakfast of some kind.
"Hello... Olivia Sparks, isn't it? I have been expecting you. My name is Lexington Sharpe. Come on in, have a seat, you and I have a lot to talk about." The Time Shaman says.
I then come into the room, and I take a seat at his breakfast table.
"So, your week has been extraordinary as of late." Says The Time Shaman.
"Yeah, it's been crazy for me, I didn't even know I had these powers." I say to him.
"Well, it's not easy being brought into this new world, you just have to adjust." He says.
He then hands me a plate, it has an Omelet with some ham, bacon, and various vegetables on it.
"Care to try?" He asks me.
"Um... Sure." I reply.
I then taste the Omelet, and from what I can tell, it was a well cooked dish.
"I like it." I say to him.
"Why thank you, you are very kind." Says the Time Shaman.
"May I ask you, why you are here?" The Time Shaman says.
"I'm here to find out, my destiny." I say to him.
"Let me guess, Kyle believes that you are the Prime Shifter, the one that will shape the fabric of Time as we know it." Says The Time Shaman says to me.
"Yes... I want to know if that is true." I reply.
The Time Shaman then sits closer to me, and he places his hand on my shoulder.
"I think I can help you." Says The Time Shaman.
"Did you know who the last Prime Shifter was?" The Time Shaman Asks me.
"Yes, it was my grandfather." I reply.
"Bingo, your grandfather, but sadly, there has not been a Shifter like him in the last hundred years, due to our history being erased." Says The Time Shaman.
"Have you ever wondered why that was done?" The Time Shaman asks me.
"Kyle told me, that it was in order to protect us from experimentation by the Government." I reply.
"True, but Kyle forgot to tell you this. When your Grandfather erased us from history, he did it so that the fabric of Time can stay on course, after he died, time has been at risk of being destroyed ever since, many Shifters are breaking the rules, changing small events, and as a result, changing the state of the world." Says The Time Shaman.
"What does that have to do with me?" I ask.
"Well, we will soon find out." Says The Time Shaman.
"Do me a favor, close your eyes for me." He says to me.
I then close my eyes, and I feel him placing his hands on my face.
"Hmmm... You are quite strong, stronger than most Shifters that have come to me, but you already know what I am going to say..."
After a brief moment of silence, I reply, "I'm not the Prime Shifter?"
"I'm sorry kiddo, you have the look, and the power, but it seems to me, that you are waiting for something..." Says The Time Shaman.
"Well, Kyle... He almost had me convinced." I say.
"Well, Kyle always has a flair for believing in something that never comes to pass, poor Kyle." Says The Time Shaman.
"What do you mean by 'poor Kyle?'" I ask him.
"Kyle believes in you, so much so, that he will risk his life, trying to protect you." Says The Time Shaman.
"He would die for me..." I say to myself.
"Yes, my dear. Sooner or later, you will have to make a choice, between your life, and Kyle's. The one who dies, will be up to you." Says The Time Shaman.
"I really hate that on our first meeting, I give you nothing but bad news, but I do have faith that it will all work out in the end." Says The Time Shaman.
"Here, take this. It belonged to your father." He then hands me a key of some sort.
"Maybe it will all make sense to you in the long run." Says The Time Shaman.
"Thank you..." I say before leaving the room.
When I leave the room, I see Kajor standing on the left side, leaning on the wall. I look at him, and he smiles at me, placing his hand on my shoulder. I feel bad not telling him, he foolishly believes that I am the Prime Shifter, when he doesn't know that I am just like any other Shifter.
When we leave the apartment, Kyle then turns to me, wondering what's wrong.
"Olivia, are you okay?" He asks.
"Kyle, there is something I have to tell you..."
Before I could tell him the truth, he yells, "Get Down!"
Suddenly, a rocket fires into the street, sending pedestrians into panic. While everyone was unconscious, the two individuals that tried to capture me days ago, grabbed me and teleported away.
